How Baby

Despite my Many Agonies of late, we did manage to slip away this weekend for a local(ish) vacation. It did what it was supposed to (break up the deluge of bad things happening to us), but boy, am I now glad to be home and, uh, recovering from that vacation.

On second thought, maybe it was a little overconfident of me to think that, after everything this month, I could be a gentle and present parent while travelling. What happened instead was that my battery was about thisbig (I am holding my thumb and fingertip together) and probably installed a few negative core memories too.

Welp! Here’s hoping I do better next time. As we all think sometimes, I think.
